EDIT: We also need one of the admins to start pruning deprecated redirects, talk pages, and filenames. I've rewritten the Special Missions page and reorganized a lot of the Daily Dungeons pages to the NA names, but we also need to rename a lot of the quest series banners to the NA standard naming Shard introduced. I've provided the literal translations for the VIP quests -- for the regular missions that are not yet in English (Divine Rose and Cid/Chip/Dale), we can probably leave them as is for now, but for the others, I would suggest something like

Daily Dungeon Munny.png > Special - Munny Medals JP banner KHUX.png

It would also help to create an AWB bot for the wiki, as done on KHWiki - a lot of the changes that will need to be done are copious but automatable. Neumannz or Porplemontage could walk you through it.

Added .svg to the permitted filetypes.

For pruning deprecated redirects, talk pages, and filenames: SadakoTetsuwan or Lea could do that, or if they don't want to then we might want to appoint another admin/mod to handle that stuff. We also might want to outline procedures for requesting that this stuff be done (have a page / formal process wherein people request that certain things get removed), so that it's not just one person deciding what to prune. Thoughts everyone?

AWB bot: Sure, if someone points me in the right direction for creating the bot, I can do that.

I think it should probably be a given that superseded images, talk page redirects, and all post-move redirects that are not official names (ex. JP translations) should be deleted on sight.We could definitely have a page for it, but at this stage of the game I will be filling that thing up with about 100 revisions a day, so it might be easier to simply keep an eye on the "articles to be deleted" cat and use good judgment.I'd also like to nominate TSH or SoT as admins, if they are open to it and I'm allowed to do that. They both have a ton of experience and are eminently reliable, no-nonsense editors who will serve y'all well. Shard's image work will also be heavily reliant on being able to move/delete images without leaving unneeded links behind.

EDIT: It's letting me upload the svg, but the actual result is:Error creating thumbnail: Unable to run external programs, proc_open() is disabled.

Most of the missions with the same name, other than "Heartless Havoc", are all part of the same story-arc (see my user page), and I almost feel like instead of disambigs, it might be better to just link to one large page summarizing the plot of the game, with storylinks or main-links to the relevant missions.

I agree, we should have a list of types of things that can be deleted on sight, and then for more contentious things we should have proper processes. If it's unanimous that those things should be deleted on sight then I support it. Personally I don't mind about redirects for unofficial names for things to their proper names, as it helps out informed people that only know of the unofficial name, but I'll leave the decision to all of you.

Sounds good, I'm happy if either wants to step up.

I've enabled proc_open, should work now.

Also, should we create disambig pages for missions like this one: http://www.khwiki.com/Destroy_the_shadow_globs ? Most of the missions with the same name, other than "Heartless Havoc", are all part of the same story-arc (see my user page), and I almost feel like instead of disambigs, it might be better to just link to one large page summarizing the plot of the game, with storylinks or main-links to the relevant missions.

I like how it's done on KHWiki at the moment in that example. I think it's better to have multiple pages + disambigs rather than large pages containing everything.

Deleting and moving with out redirects rights would be a blessing, I misnamed a a lot files because I didn't think it through, simply adding "JP" to the banners would have been the best solution.

Anyway, I'm not against listing min/max material numbers you can find in the game (I think there is a chance to get either 1~3 items from a sparkling spot) but it would be a lot of work to confirm these numbers and it's pointless in the end since the only time you will be actively collecting material items is when a new Keyblade is released.

I'm also for keeping the original Japanese name for a mission instead of just using the literal translation, at least in the infobox, since we're doing the same with practically everything else.

Edit: Since the new tabbing method broke almost all current medal pages we probably need a script to fix this.

<div style="float: right"><tabber>" needs to be replaced with "<div class="tabber goright" style="width:350px">", "|-|" needs to be replaced with "</div>" and "1★= " or "1★ = " (I've seen both) with "<div class="tabbertab" title="1★">", same for the other stars and "MAX", and finally "</tabber>" with another "</div>".

I'm not familiar with it, but at first glance it looks like it should work.EDIT: Nevermind, it is *waaaaay* more cumbersome than MultipleUpload, and totally defeats the purpose of trying to do a bulk upload.We need table class "collapsible collapsed" for navboxes.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, since Unchained is a mobile game, and the navboxes on KHWiki (which use the collapsible collapsed class), don't show up on mobile view. Unless we find a way to make it work on mobile view...

If it doesn't collapse on mobile view, that's fine -- it won't make mobile view any worse, and will make desktop view better.

If no one else is willing to be an admin, I'd like to request it on a temporary basis, at least to get the deletions done. I'll leave any non-janitorial work to the existing admins -- I have no intention of being a community moderator unless appointed/elected on a permanent basis.

Bumping this. We need someone to start deleting and other clean-up stuff.

I second Multiupload, it's extremely simple to use. Not to mention it doesn't automatically add templates and categories to the files it uploads. Upload Wizard just takes way to long, you might as well upload them all individually, which defeats the purpose.

And yes we really need a few more admins/moderators on the wiki. There are a slew of deletions needed, especially to fix mistaken redirect typos (whoops). I'd like to be one, to do just that honestly. We need to redirect a lot of files for the new medal template and unlike articles files are unable to re-redirect, which makes things a pain if you make a typo.

For the <references> tag, I think that's the Cite extension, correct? So that needs to be added.

Also, I'm not sure if these are enabled by default, but if they aren't I think enabling them will allow AWB to work.

$wgEnableAPI - Enable direct access to the data API through api.php.$wgEnableWriteAPI - Allow the API to be used to perform write operations (page edits, rollback, etc.) when an authorised user accesses it.

Should subpages for the main and template namespaces be turned on? I think it might be a good idea, for future things.

InperialManse requested to be made an admin on a temporary basis, so I've gone ahead and done that.

I've enabled the Cite extension.

I've set wgEnableAPI and wgEnableWriteAPI to true, hopefully this solves the AWB issue. I've enabled subpages for main and template, also.

I didn't realize Multiupload was unmaintained and broken, that's unfortunate. I think MsUpload may be a better mass upload extension than then current one, if only because it's a simple drag & drop. Any opinion?

Cite is working.

Can I get temporary adminship too? How are we deciding who gets that power?

If not can you add the collapse class to the MediaWiki:Common.js, too? And change the sidebar Community Portal to Community portal.

I am very confused as to why AWB isn't working, it's really frustrating. I really don't know why we can't connect to the server with it. Aside from the above setting, I'm not sure what, if anything, needs to be done for it to work. There is an IRC channel for it, I think I'll ask around in there.

I think I skipped over MsUpload because as far as I understand, it doesn't add a dedicated multi upload page, it instead adds a drag&drop field onto each edit page, which I found counter intuitive to how uploads usually work in MediaWiki. But I've enabled it for now, let me know if you want me to keep it.

Sure, I'll give you temporary adminship too (done). We haven't decided any kind of processes yet for adding/removing admins but I guess sometime in the future we should formalise that. Feel free to make those changes.

So that's what that new box is! Is there any documentation I should refer to on how to use it?

Also, is there any way to Categorize image en masse? We need to add [[Category:Medal Images]] to the Medals, at least.
